Children’s Services

Our program provides state of the art behavioral interventions using evidence-based methodologies, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), to families and children requiring individualized services to improve behavioral, social, and emotional functioning and to improve students’ abilities to access academic curricula. 

Our program is based on a consultative-model that allows the child to remain or transition into the environment of choice while an individualized behavior plan is developed and implemented by our trained professionals in the identified setting/s for him/her.  These settings include school, home, and recreation/community activities.  

Our program emphasizes:

• Evidence-based interventions designed based on best practice standards integrated with ongoing data collection and assessment of outcomes. 
• Assessment of a child’s strengths and needs to individualize a plan that is accessible and developmentally-appropriate.
• Family integration into service planning and implementation. 
• Emotion regulation skills of the child to ensure that he/she is available to benefit from behavioral and educational interventions. 
• Generalization of skills to natural settings (i.e. classroom, home, recreation, social interaction, etc.). 
• Coordination with other service providers. 
• Ensuring competencies of IPP staff through ongoing professional development and supervision. 
• The capacity to develop a continuum of care for individuals who may be transitioning from Children’s Services to adult care.
